...longer strings full of basic tricks, but still...

I have more videos coming, but they are more focused on Kayleigh, and I will probably post them in my blog.

I really liked the ss mirages out of butterflies.

Someone needs to teach that kid at the end to make beep beep noises when he's backing up.

I liked the shred! I was like she should do some clip to clip and then bam! I guess the next drill will be for whirls (be careful for your knees sake)? Try some stepping it's really fun to throw in to your strings once you get it. Good job all together.

Hi Chrissy. Nice video, keep up with the basics. Can you hit far leg over and near leg over, you should practice these as well. I just have a little tip about your clippers. I believe that there are 3 basic movements for clipper that one should learn before going up in his development, so I decided to make a video

.
1st - "Butterfly" style clippers, where you set and you plant your leg just before you do the opposite clipper. If you learn this you will move on to butterflies easier.
2nd - "Ducking" style clippers, where you make tiny steps in between the clippers, those are almost like the clippers that you do but I think you should work some more on them. And yeah, this will also be the movement of your feet when you start doing ducking clipper.
3rd - "Drifterâ€

Yeah Chrissy!
Cool video. I really liked your longer strings, ss butterflies and swirl bsos!

My favorite part was when you were doing a butterfly>pdx mirage drill and Kayleigh and her little friend were on their bikes just watching in awe.

Thanks everyone.

That kid was talking so much, I'm surprised he didn't say anything when we clashed. Haha. And yeah, I thought the clip of them watching was cute, too. I noticed they were doing that a lot when I was playing...well atleast the little boy.

Mitko - Thanks for the tips and video. I definitely saw the difference and will give them all a shot next time. And I can hit far legover and probably near (from clipper?) if I tried. I don't know why I did not add far legover to my strings that session.

Hahaha, exactly (for the far leg over)

Sorry for the spam

It's cool.

Seriously, though, I have been working on far legover strings, but they never crossed my mind that day...
